Ajax Posted November 24, 2015 Share Posted November 24, 2015 Hi Ajax, I have found the best option to be USB into the D200. It sounds superb. Thanks Misterpete, I wil definitely try it. Out of interest how does the internal DAC of the Mini compare with the D200's? Is there much difference using USB out of a computer compared to the Mini?

baddog Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Thanks Misterpete, I wil definitely try it. Out of interest how does the internal DAC of the Mini compare with the D200's? Is there much difference using USB out of a computer compared to the Mini? Ajax I think the answers to these questions are, "it depends".... One can get superb sound out of a computer feeding the Devialet 200/400 via USB. For example, I have enjoyed a Mac Mini with JS-2 supply and Regen feeding my Devialet and running Roon. Sound quality is superb. Music is stored on a NAS. I have not taken the time to compare the sound quality of this solution as opposed to using the Aries Mini to stream to the Devialet via USB which also works quite well. I have tried streaming from the combo using SPDIF as well, however there were a few anomalies I still need to chase down. I have also fed the Devialet from the Aries Mini RCA outs. Sound quality of DSD files is quite good, I still need to experiment a bit more with standard PCM from the Aries Mini via RCA outs versus using the Devialet's DACs. However I don't think the Devialet gives up anything in regards to its PCM capabilities. More to follow, and just one person's opinion.

maniac Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 @jimmy I've got just email confirmation they've received my request to participate. My understanding is that one have to install apple's TestFlight app which will then send you notification once there is something new to test for you (like anticipated Lightning DS for iphone) Link to comment

Jimmypowder Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 So where is the iPhone app beta we were supposed to see this week ? Link to comment
badlyread Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 It would appear that the beta app is still waiting to be cleared by Apple who don't at the weekend so expect to see it early next week. Link to comment
Wardsweb Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 I setup my Aries Mini last night with Lightning DS on an iPad Air2. It works great but there are some albums that do not show the cover art. I tried adding the cover art as "folder.jpg" and running rescan. It took a few minutes to rescan but it did show up.

Wardsweb Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 How was the music ripped? These were recorded (not ripped) to DSD256 with a Tascam DA-3000 from reel to reel tape and vinyl. So, no embedded info. Link to comment
badlyread Posted December 6, 2015 Share Posted December 6, 2015 If you have a Mac, can you import the songs to iTunes? If so, you should be able to add art work in the 'Get Info' window. Link to comment
jtwrace Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 All iPhone LDS inquires should now go to this thread. It is working though!
